Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) echoed the vote-buying allegations made by former President Donald Trump, and alleged on CNN that it was "clear that there's vote-buying going on at a scale like we have never seen before."
The statement of Burgum was given in response to questions concerning the allegations of Trump in Florida during a donor retreat program, where the former President claimed that a number of Americans "get welfare to vote," thereby implying that assistance programs by the government are being used by the present administration to have an upper-hand in the elections.
